What's a "cootie catcher"? Come to that, what's a "cootie"? Please enlighten me.
Qfreed has now enlightened me. Perhaps the first question should not be "how to translate cootie catcher" but "has anyone outside the USA ever heard of Cooties".
Si mal no recuerdo, nosotros llamábamos a eso un "matapiojitos", which means pretty much the same as cootie catcher. It was a long, long time ago, though. 
Aren't cooties nits? As in head lice? (piojos de la cabeza)
The Maori word for head lice is 'kutu' so there may be some connection there.
I had no idea tho' that those paper thingys were called 'cootie catchers':
I found this site quite enlightening: http://www.recess.ufl.edu/transcripts/2006/0801.shtml
Originally, the cootie catcher was a folded piece of paper that you could open and close using your fingers. You would leave one of the inner sides blank and you would draw a bunch of small dots on the opposing side. The blank side was shown to your chosen victim. Then, after running the cootie catcher through their hair, you opened it up to reveal the cootie dots on the opposing side. You could then take all the credit for having saved your friend from cooties!
I didn't know those were called cootie catchers. i have been making them since i was little, which wasn't all that long ago, maybe 9 years ago. that would have made me 8. I remember boys and girls a like saying ewwww.... i dont want to touch (him/her) they have (boy/girl) cooties. more often the girls would be the ones going ewwww boy cooties. at least when i was growing up. but that was back in like first and second grade.
I am not quite sure what you are talking about but if you are referring to children that refer to other kids having "cooties", which is like having a disease (when young boys are liked by young girls of this age, boys typically are not into girls then and girls are said to have "cooties"). Now, at the time, this is something boys this age (3rd grade) didn't want to have any parts of. If this is what you are talking about then please clarify yourself and thank you for the fond memories of my elementary experiences of running away from the girls that were chasing me because I didn't want to get "the cooties".

Just in case your question was serious....:
My sisters and I used to play this game all of the time.
No idea what a cootie catcher is, however.
En Guatemala les decimos "muelitas" porque se parecen un poco a las muelas, pero cada país tiene su propia versión del "español".
LOL I had heard of "cooties" before, must have picked it up from a movie or something because this is definitely not a word you are taught in school!
I have also seen it used among boys or among girls, especially directed at the "odd one out", the kid who is not liked for some silly reason like when they don't dress nice, have a funny haircut or an allergy that makes them sneeze all the time. Then the group of kids reacts as if the odd kid has something contagious. They say: don't sit next to him/her, you'll get cooties.
I never knew though that the paper "thingie" was called a cootie catcher. I can't remember calling them anything at all in my childhood.
For real you don't know what a cootie catcher is?
Here's a demonstration: cootie catcher
¡No he oído de ese juego desde yo era niño!
I have no clue what you are talking about and I am 16.
